CLEANSING COMPOSITION.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELMA E. HULLINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cleansing Compositions, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an improved cleansing composition designed for use in readily and thoroughly cleansing baking utensils. aluminum ware, earthen ware, particularly those-varieties which are glazed, metal surfaces, and a. large variety of articles, including glassware.

This composition will readily and quickly remove tarnish, coalings of dirt, grease, etc.,-and restore the articles to a state of perfect cleanliness, and, in the case of things that acquire polish, will render them bright and attractive.

My composition consists of parafiine wax, say two ounces, parafiine oil, say three ounces, subjected to heat, below boiling, to produce a hot solution; steel wool, say four ounces, to which is applied this hot solution, and pumice stone, say seven'ounces, used to coat this mass.

The manner of forming the composition consists in the following steps; first, the

production of the' hot solution of the parafline wax and parafline oil; second, the

dipping of the steel wool into this solution to thoroughly coat it with the solution and carry the solution through the interstices between the particles of the Wool; third, in dusting or sprinkling the mass of wool so treated with pumice stone, applied in a powdered form and which is well Worked into the body of wool. This application of pumice stone is done while the body of Specification of Letters Patent.

by briskly rubbing it upon the surfaces until the foreign matter or dirt is seen to yield and the appearance of cleanliness is made to show. The article will be found to be left with a smeared appearance due to the composition being rubbed off and left on it. The'article is then washed, as with warm water. No soap is used or needed and no appearance of soap suds is developed by the use of the article since it does not contain soap.

My composition is cheap, easily produced, is lasting and is effective and acts quickly in cleansing and does not injure the articles treated.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 2- 1. A cleansing composition composed of paraffine wax and parafline oil, steel wool saturated or coated with said wax and oil and this mass coated with pumice stone.
